FL AVOUR OF
CULTURES
UCOL celebrates the diversity of
its students and graduates, with
the annual Flavour of Cultures
event. This event is a vibrant and
colourful celebration and gives
those attending the event a feeling
of being in another world with the
sights, sounds and tastes on offer.
Last year, guests were entertained with
Indian dancers, Chinese calligraphy and
an array of craft stalls and cuisines.

UCOL wanted to celebrate the array of
cultures represented on campus as well
as in Palmerston North. With the event
boasting audiences of several hundred
people, there is something to delight
everyone, from belly dancing, Irish dancers
and a Japanese drum team.

are encouraged to get involved, by doing
something interactive around their culture,
or to come along as a guest and soak up the

      ANDY HALEWOOD
      SENIOR FURNITURE LECTURER AND JOINERY LECTURER

      Learning from the ground up was a great way to develop
      the skills that would lead Andy to become a lecturer in the
      Diploma in Fine Furniture at UCOL. S ​ tarting out working as an
      apprentice on the tools gave Andy an appreciation of the work
      that needed to be done.
      He decided to share his knowledge and passion and joined UCOL. Having
      had real experience and working in industry Andy wanted to ensure that his
      students get out of the classroom. “When working with wood, it’s not enough
      to have it ready to work on in the classroom. I want them to see how it’s
      milled. They need to hear it, see it, smell it”.

      “This is about more than designing and making a functional piece of furniture.
      This is about taking a slab of wood and turning it into someone’s prized
      possession. It’s definitely an art”.
